Didnt do any Neetcode problems today. Have test in a few days so I studied some of the previous material Taking a computer vision course next semester. This looks like a cool project I could try in meantime. Seems like that robot I posted yesterday is a semi scam. It was completely teleoperated by a human that would be able to see inside your house and collect every piece of info on how u live. Cant even close a dishwasher without remote assistance. Seems like tech is a long way off from being usable daily and even then, would people want it knowing it could see everything u do?

I have spent far too much time dabbling. Im a 23 year old two time college dropout with a string of dead end jobs. Ive done over 50 psychedelic trips and had crazzy awakenings, but im still broke with no gf and barely any friends. Ive dipped my toes in every area that has interested me, but not gone further than the shallow end of the pool. Im basically really bad at a lot of different things. Im starting this journal in an effort to change the trajectory of my life and focus on one area and become a master at that. After tons of searching, I realized that technology is the only area that can satisfy my intellectual and creative ambitions. I want to be a master inventor and work on cutting edge technology like robotics and AI to actually create real value for humanity. My previous artistic pursuits were done for vanities sake or to fulfill my desires of fame and money. A couple months ago I went back to school and transferred to a local college and im studying computer science. I have about 1.5 years to get my skillset up and build a kickass portfolio that will attract job offers. Im gonna use this journal to track my progress on studying and projects and also use it to store inspiring or interesting vids. Ideally I would grind for at least 4-6hrs on CS work. Also want to keep up a spiritual practice so I want to do kriya yoga for at least an hour a day. Follow if ur interested in the rags to riches journey of a 23 year old loser. ^^ This guy inspires me. He dropped out of highschool and originally wanted to be a poet. He took like 6 years to finish college and only in his last year did he realize that he wanted to pursue mathematics. 5 years later he got a Phd and then eventually got the highest honor of all mathematics. Anything is possible

Done 3/150 problems. I would like to finish all of these by the end of the year. I should be able to consistently do 2-3 per day in about 2 hrs. ^^ I just got this book. Would also like to finish this in 3ish months. This combined with DSA will give good foundation. The thing that sucks rn is having to do work for the misc required courses. Next semester ill be able to put in 8+ hrs a day since all my courses will be CS related This new actual human assisting robot came out and you can get it for $20k. Seems like it has potential, but cant cook your food or do any errands outside your house

I would still recommend giving it a serious attempt before rejecting it completely. From my experience kechari + ocean breathing is extremely effective. I do it multiple times a day even for just a few minutes to feel more alert or to clear out mucus.

??? The kriya yoga books on the list are like 100 pages lol. The only dense one is the JC Stevens one, and that has a ton of extra stuff. Also the kechari mudra or "sticking ur tongue up ur nostrils" is actually super valuable. You can literally tongue punch your pineal gland to naturally produce DMT

How many hours of dedicated spiritual practice like meditation did you do per day on average ?

@Sandroew you’d like legend of bagger Vance then. Also I would recommend “A Confederacy of Dunces”

some recent top tier books ive read 1. Civilization and its discontents by Sigmund Freud 2. Iliad and Odyssey by Homer 3. The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P Hall 4. Theory of Money and Credit by Ludwig Von Mises 5. The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb All Time Favs 1. Legend of Bagger Vance by Stephen Pressfield 2. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce 3. Shoe Dog by Phil Knight 4. Biography of Walt Disney by Neal Gabler 5. Think on These Things by Krishnamurti

Very basic experience just as a side hustle. Ive had decent success selling knockoff gba pokemon games. Ive attempted selling courses in the past but I kinda half assed it

get the book "The Best of No BS" by Dan Kennedy. Get a clickfunnels account. Start iterating on ads and testing

Honestly as easy as it is to clown on him, I did like a lot of his videos. I never bought anything from him but I always resonated with his life philosophy of pursuing health, wealth, love, and happiness. He is a similar figure to Owen cook where you can learn a lot from him and take what resonates while filtering out the scammy stuff. I would much rather a son of mine listen to tai Lopez than some doiche like Andrew Tate or some other manosphere influencer. Ill miss his YouTube channel

@Daniel Balan I would still say you’re making arbitrary distinctions between what you deem acceptable and unacceptable substances for someone to take. Like is coffee a psychoactive drug for you? How about vitamins and minerals? Also the pineal gland can naturally produce DMT so you can’t make the appeal to “only naturally occurring bodily substances are allowed” Using your logic I could theoretically say that your mind is impure and you should never speak of god because you ate a poisonous McDonald’s hamburger

what do you consider a substance? Is the water you drink, food you eat, oxygen you breathe, or blood running through your veins substances that could distort your mind?

yeah I was in a pretty similar position. I took the course when I was 19 and had a vague direction of just wanting my job to be creative and intellectually fulfilling in some way. Its just very difficult to lock down what you want your life to be like 10-20 years from now when you barely know yourself, your likes/dislikes, true values, and core skills. I spent the next 2-3 years trying literally everything. Computer science, music, art, writing, filmmaking, content creation, some form of entrepreneurship, medicine, and more. Eventually you narrow down what you could see yourself doing and if you realitically commit to this craft for at least a decade. Basically my advice would be to just make a list of the top 5 areas that interest you, and then commit to making small projects to get a feel of what its really like

Yessss. This would be awesome

^^^ This too. I appreciate how he doesnt hide any of his racist and mysoginstic views while people like kirk held similar beliefs but hid behind some kind of moral facade.

The main reason I listen to him is that hes basically the only political commentator talking about the biggest issue in our country which is that our government is occupied by the parasitic government of Israel. Since he is an independent and not beholden to any advertisers(Like most others), he is not gonna pull any punches. Other than that, its good to know your enemies arguments better than they do and the only way to do that is by listening to who they get their opinions from. Also not gonna lie, he is far and away the most entertaining political commentator, literally funnier than many standup comedians. But yeah i do agree that listening to too much can warp ur mind

Probably the biggest things i disagree with are his toxic views on women and dogmatic views on race. He believes that women shouldnt be able to vote and dont belong in the workplace. He also is a hardcore race realist and has said the even if you give black/indian people 100+ years to assimilate in america, they wouldnt be able to because they dont have the brain power and have been raised in a backwards culture.

Its hard to say since Nick was extremely critical of Charlie Kirk(Even moreso than a lot of democrats) but I would say maybe 10-20% of them will start tuning into fuentes more. I was watching his livestream the day after the assasination and he had close to 200k live viewers which is insane for rumble. His stream ended up breaking his record for most watched video by like 3x and got close to 3mil views. Also much of the reason for Nicks small audience is because hes been banned from a ton of platforms. Though recently his stuff has been able to get promoted on more mainstream social medias like Instagram and Youtube I do think seeing Kirk getting assasinated will radicalize a lot of young people

Honestly as a gen z, moderate democrat. I listen to Nick Fuentes. I feel he offers a steelman of white nationalism and why we need to seriously limit immigration and LGBTQ+ ideology. I dont agree with everything he says, but I do appreciate his boldness to speak his truth https://rumble.com/v6vfzdj-america-is-being-killed-by-foreigners.html?e9s=src_v1_cbl%2Csrc_v1_ucp_v Also charlie kirk had like close to 10 mil followers across all platforms. He was way bigger than people realize, and they will mostly go further right

I never played oblivion but played the shit out of skyrim. This should hold me over for the next 5-10 years until ES6 comes out. R u guys gonna play it and did any of u guys play the original oblivion? How does it compare to skyrim?

I may sound like an asshole but its honestly poetic. Hes dedicated his life to being a mouthpiece for falsehood and it ends up with him getting shot in the neck, thus wiping out his ability to spew bullshit. I hope he makes it but never speaks again.

Do you actually mean it when you say that you wish you were a forever virgin? If that is really the case, would you even recommend a young man to pursue pickup and relationships? If you could go back in time, would you rather have just been like isaac newton and focused solely on your work? Honestly im torn on this issue and was heavily debating on monk/MGTOW lifestyle as cringe as that is

this is an insane limiting belief. There are retarded housewives who will pay thousands of dollars to some "shaman" to come into their house and "cleanse the energy." People pay thousands to go to yoga retreats and ayahausca retreats. Peter ralston charges thousands for his in person workshops. The attractive lifestyle ur selling isnt lambos and mansions. Its inner peace, infinite happiness, becoming one with god and becoming enlightened If you are selling consciousness, its actually pretty easy marketing

how did Peter Ralston avoid the unconcsiousness of fighting?
